St. Austin answers this in himself, do but begin to live as a Christian 1should, and see if thou shalt not be used unchristianly of them that are Christians in name, but not in deed. A suffering from Christians is more sharp then that of enemies. Those that are fleshly will be ready to be injurious: those that are carnal, formal professors, will be ready to offer some disgrace or other to those that are more spiritual then themselves.
